Blue throats are not bad but the "big 3" reef safe ones are the crosshatch, sargassum, and pinktail. Clams will be fine with any of those but apparently it's hit and miss with the hermits and whatnot. But *supposedly* those big 3 are water column feeders aka planktivores. You can tell by the upturned lips that they're not really meant for picking things off the substrate.
Think Niger's are reasonably safe too, although probably come after under the blue throats if you were to rate them. Crosshatches are the bomb if you ask me, but pricey, and realistically get too big for your size of tank. After seeing some full grown ones about a year ago, I wouldn't even put them in my 280g.

Thanks guys.....hmmm, I'll have to rethink that one then. I definitely do not want to go catching a trigger cause it's too big. Oh well, should have build a 1000 gallon tank I guess.
Anybody else have experience with "testing" pygmy angels for nipping?

I have a bicolour angel in my tank with clams, SPS, LPS and some softies. No problem...he's been a little angel. ;-)

Every angel (big or small) that I have put in my tank have been nippers. Having said that I have 3 angels in my sps tank that nip constantly (the regal angel angel even removes whole tips) and there have been no ill effects from nipping that I can see
I have no doubt they would kill any lps or clams within hours but sps seem to be made for nipping
